A fuel tanker exploded after colliding with a truck carrying passengers and cattle in northern Nigeria, killing at least 59 people, a rescue agency said on Monday.
Initially, 48 people were reported killed in the incident in north-central Nigeria on Sunday.
Photographs released by the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) showed workers burying more than a dozen blackened and charred bodies of victims from Sunday's early morning incident.
Images showed burned-out shells of the vehicles, one still billowing with smoke and flames after the incident in Niger's Agaie local government district.
